I was hesitating putting this out there, even though I had heard it before.  But since Rob Port has broken the ice, I thought I'd go ahead and share it:

I was watching a CNN special about Sarah Palin tonight and had to chuckle a bit when they brought up the fact that the Palins’ eldest son, Track, was born eight months after his parents got married.

Got married by eloping, no less.  Cue the “shotgun wedding” jokes from the left.

I don't think the problem here is that they had a shotgun wedding or eloped, but that various surrogates (including Gov. Linda Lingle at the RNC Convention) have stated that they eloped to save their parents money.  While that is probably true, it gives a false impression of why they got married.  On the other hand, it's not like they ever tried to hide their anniversary date or Track Palin's birth date. 

I have a feeling that if the media tries to play this up, it will end in much the same way as their attempt to exploit Bristol Palin's pregnancy.
